Confirming, <textarea> isn't on the list of allowed tags which breaks this particular example. The editor however allows all tags I think.

Comment 2

[Jean-Yves Perrier [:teoli]]

Yes, we don't want to allow form elements, so these live examples are broken.

I've commented the live part out so that the page looks ok (though less helpful). In the mid-term (read before end of this year) we will have a new tools that will allow us to write live example independently of the article and display it inline: this will solve this problem (and allow 100s of much more useful inline live examples).

I mark this bug dependent of this new feature so that we don't forget to reactivate this page.

This example has been converted to a Live Example long time ago and works as expected now:
